5 COLLECTOR PROFILE

A Visit to the Alan Douglas Museum BY DAVE CROCKER When collections become too large for homes, the next step is to find space elsewhere, and sometimes that space becomes a "Museum." Here's the story of the im- pressive Alan Douglas museum. Alan is a historian who is quick to share his knowledge with fellow collectors. We are pleased that Dave Crocker has compiled this tour through Alan's museum for us. (Editor) Passing by the house in Pocasset on Cape Cod, you would never guess what treasures lie inside the walls. It's just a quiet, rural neighbor- hood, and the house is a standard white Victorian with a porch and a barn out back that looks like nothing special. Not the exterior, anyway! But, this is the residence of Alan Douglas, known for his three -volume set of books Ra- dio Manufacturers of the 1920's. We all know them and refer to them constantly. He is also the author of another book on test equipment called Tube Figure 1. Alan beside his DeForest W6 "Renaissance"console in his library. Testers & Classic Electronic Test Gear.

Upstairs, there are bed- rooms with displays of things like a Clapp-Eastham RHM, a bright red Crosley Showchest, and a Flex -o - Dyne. These sets are shown in Figure 3. This latter set was manufactured by Charles G. Hall of New York City in the mid -1920s and used Telos Vario-Transformers(the same as in the more common Melco Supreme set). The bottom drawer still has the original batteries. Alan, having an interest in any British set with U.S. con- nections, has a British Bir- mingham Small Arms (BSA) set on top of his Crosley Figure 2.

BSA is better known for motorcycles and made a short foray into wireless in the mid -1920s using parts and cir- cuitry from Western Electric (or Standard Telephones & Cables, STC, as it was known then). This set uses three pea- nut tubes (Wecovalves) and a Type 101. To mention just a few more, a NESCO CN-112 submarine receiver, a National Airphone Monodyne, and an Atwater Kent TA amplifier connected to a Radak HR (sold that way), are shown in Figure 4. A back bedroom displays a couple of consoles and four ship cone speakers, such as a Na-Aid, Vitalitone. and two Tower speakers. Around the corner is a room jammed with incredibly rare pieces. You can barely walk as the radios are everywhere. Early radios of the teens, dealer display signs, old TVs, Ham receivers and, yes, more radio literature. As Figure 5 shows, on a shelf is an original Liberty BC14A airplane crystal set, along with an aviator's helmet and phones. Looking around you have to take your

Fig- ure 6 shows the barn and the addition.It was here he was to develop his "Museum." Now you pass through the big barn door and past a room filled with (what Alan calls) "ordi- nary stuff."

This room is special to me, as whenever I come here, I can still see the very first radio I acquired in 1969 - a 1929 Ampico console radio, the very radio that started me on collecting antique radios. I hope Alan never lets it go. A few other items in the collection, such as a 1907 Seeburg Nickelodeon, are shown in Figure 13. There's a lot more to see, but I can't mention everything - there's Figure 13. The 1907 Seeburg Nickelodeon, a radio tube display, just too much! and an Amplion AR -19 horn speaker. Among the many, many items is my favorite -a Cur- tis & Crocker brass -bladed fan run on 110VDC. (I've got first dibs!). It is shown in Fig- ure 14. Unfortunately, if you go to Alan's museum, you've already missed the 1968 Chev- vy that is shown on the back cover of his Volume 3. The car is long since gone, and, sadly enough, the old pickup is off the road. If you decide to visit, Alan will personally guide you on a tour. However, visits have to be set up ahead of time, as Alan still works full-time. He's a very busy person, and says he doesn't have time to get to all the projects he's planned.

The Remler 88 and Other Early High Fidelity Efforts BY JOHN ECKLAND

In this article, John Eckland describes how radio manufacturers improved the fidelity of high -end console radios and how he discovered a high fidelity table model manufactured by Remler. (Editor)

The Remler 88, shown in Figure 1.is a wood tombstone radio introduced for the 1935 model year. It features a 2 -way divided speaker system with a properly designed crossover. This speaker system is shown in Figures 2 and 3. The low frequency speaker is a Jensen X series, leather -edged 8- incher. The tweeter is a 2 -cell horn manufactured by Remler. It appears similar in construction to a Jens- en "Q" series horn used in the Zenith Stratosphere. Both speakers are of field -coil excitation. The tweeter uses a 1 -inch, aluminum dome diaphragm. Fig- ure 4 shows the tweeter disassembled. The radio chassis features a 15 -watt, all -triode, fixed bias, push-pull, class A amplifier using Type 2A3 tubes. The 2A3s are preceded by a 6A6 push- pull driver, preceded by a 6A6 input stage and conventional proportionally fed phase inverter. The 10 -tube chassis features a 2 -position selectivity control - broadcast normal and high fidelity. Figure1.

There was a trend toward (Continued on following page) making sets with same or dissimilar sized speakers, usually wired in parallel. In 1927, Zenith Radio Corp. of Chicago made a high -end set called the "Zenith Spanish." It used a TRF amplification for the front end, grid leak detec- tion, and single -ended audio amplification, all conventional for the times. It is the earliest radio set to use a multitude of five loudspeakers that appear to be a combination of moving -coil and possibly moving armature loudspeakers. The list price of the Zenith Spanish was $2,500, enough to buy a sub- stantial house at that time. In the early 1930s, radio manufacturers offered certain deluxe models featuring multiple speakers. A 1931 Majestic used a 12 -inch "Super Colotura" low frequency speaker coupled with an early Jens- en 8 -inch high frequency PM speaker. Zenith sets used twin 10 -inch speakers, mounted in such a way as to disperse the highs in a crossfire manner. Philco used a 10 -inch, and an 8 -inch speaker in a Figure 4.

The speaker system is fully divided with a properly designed crossover at 3.500 cycles. It utilizes two of the newly introduced Jensen A-12 woofers and a Jensen "0" series horn tweeter. The next high fidelity radio introduced at about the same time would be the E.H. Scott Allwave 23 Imperial. The Scott 23 also has variable selectivity and a di- Figure 5.

Flea markets often yield in- triguing items. Jerry Wieland hopes that fellow collectors can supply more information on his r311 100 170110161. Japanese set with a Spanish accent. (Editor) While browsing through a flea market, the bright red plastic table radio shown in Figure 1 caught my eye. As I got closer, I noticed a handle on the top. When I picked itup, a chrome nub in the top corner turned out to be a telescoping antenna. A label in the lower right corner proclaimed the radio to be cordless. More labeling on the lower left and center said it was a Juliette All Transistor. Across the top of Figure 1.

It must be an audio inter -stage transformer because an audio output transformer is mounted on a 4 -inch speaker. The two -section variable capacitor on the left side of the cabinet is rather massive for a transistor radio. Two jacks on the right side of the cabinet are for an earphone and a 6 - volt external power supply. This is one of the largest Japa nese portable radios I have come across. I guess it is from the late 1950s or early 1960s. It is very sensitive and relatively selective. Figure 3.
